Hi ! I'm a single mother to my daughter who is in the Physician Assistant program at Marquette. I have over 20 years of babysitting and caregiving experience and am currently certified in Basic Life Support and First Aid. I grew up working at my mother's daycare center, where my passion for working with children bloomed. Over the years, I've volunteered in my church's nursery, taught Sunday school for Pre-K and Kindergarten, and cared for my daughter/nieces/nephews, as well as babysitting for friends and neighbors. I started my career as a professional caregiver over 10 years ago, so I have experience with anyone from infants to teenagers to the elderly. For the past few years, I have worked as a medical assistant in a variety of healthcare settings. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is flexible including weekdays, evenings, or weekends. To me, caring for others is very rewarding Read more and I love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and two cats. I am comfortable with pets. I have a reliable car and am able to help with homework, mealtimes, and light housekeeping. I value safe and fun experiences and love to incorporate learning into play and everyday activities. I'd love to learn more about the ways I can specifically serve you and your family!

Gina has been a wonderful sitter for our two children (starting when they were 1.5 and 3.5 years old). She has always been reliable and dependable for us. She is so kind, patient, and creative with the kids keeping them engaged in fun activities while also respecting their schedule. She is a natural at connecting and communicating with little kids. The kids always have big smiles after their time with Gina and get excited when she comes back. She's also been completely comfortable with looking after our dog in the house too. Would recommend her for any sitter needs!

We’ve been working with Gina as our regular nanny since April, and I can’t recommend her enough. She has been wonderful with our son Jaxon, starting when he was just 5 months old. Gina is warm, nurturing, and incredibly patient—especially during the phase when Jaxon needed to be held constantly. She’s always punctual, dependable, and communicates clearly whenever anything unexpected comes up. Any family would be lucky to have her!
